(Reuters) - The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) will begin an audit of Russia's anti-doping programme this week as it prepares to make a recommendation on whether to reinstate the Russian agency, the organisation said on Sunday. RUSADA has been suspended by WADA since a report published in November 2015, led by Canadian law professor Richard McLaren, found evidence of state-sponsored doping and accused it of systematically violating anti-doping regulations. Russian authorities deny there was a state-backed doping programme, but have pledged to follow international recommendations to get the suspension lifted.

Amid dismal domestic ticket sales for February's Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Korea Federation of Banks said on Tuesday it will buy 1 billion won worth of briefs as part of its "social responsibility" efforts. Response to the first phase of ticket sales in South Korea earlier this year was utterly underwhelming. While organisers have earmarked 750,000 tickets for domestic sale, only 124,000 has been sold so far, though the launch of online ticketing is expected to give sales a shot in the arm.

New Delhi, Sep 25 - Indian women's cricket team's star all-rounder Harmanpreet Kaur tried a catwalk on the fashion ramp for a change. She says it's good to try different things besides sports at times, including endorsements to break the monotony. Harmanpreet had walked the ramp for a designer at a fashion event in Mysuru earlier this week. "If we are getting an opportunity to do something different as well, at times I think we should do it. Sometimes you do get opportunities to learn something new, so what is the harm in doing so," Kaur told IANS on the sidelines of Crocs Mysore Fashion Week. "We are playing so much cricket nowadays. Sometimes, too much cricket is not good for us... We get stuck at times. Doing some new things at times breaks the monotony, entertains you and you can feel fresh. Then when you go back to the field, you are rejuvenated and play better with a fresh mind, as well as enjoy your game on a better level," she added. IANS

(Reuters) - American Justin Thomas lost the battle but won the war, earning the $10 million bonus as FedExCup champion on Sunday despite falling short of the tournament victory at the season-ending Tour Championship. Finishing second behind surprise winner Xander Schauffele at East Lake in Atlanta, 24-year-old Thomas overtook countryman Jordan Spieth to top the standings for the PGA Tour's season-long points race. Thomas, who won five times this season and claimed his first major at the PGA Championship, carded a closing 66 to lose by a stroke to rookie Schauffele, who birdied the final hole for a 68 and finished at 12-under-par 268.

Brighton and Hove Albion players denied Championship winners' medals by Newcastle United last season were celebrating revenge of a sort after beating them 1-0 in the Premier League on Sunday. Winning away to Brighton last February with two goals in the final 10 minutes helped Newcastle pip the south coast club for the (second tier) Championship title by one point. "If everyone can remember the game here with Newcastle last season, it’s a shame we didn’t win," said Israeli striker Tomer Hemed, whose goal decided Sunday's tight encounter that lifted Brighton further away from the relegation zone.

By Jason Hovet and Michael Kahn PRAGUE (Reuters) - Roger Federer won the inaugural Laver Cup for Team Europe on Sunday, beating back a fierce challenge from players from the rest of the world to claim the trophy in a dramatic final match of the weekend. Federer delivered in a tight 4-6 7-6(6) 11-9 win over world number 20 Nick Kyrgios, with the Australian pushing to the final point as he sought a win that would have forced an overtime doubles match to decide the tournament. The boys played fantastic all weekend but we knew it could change very quickly on Sunday," Federer said.

By James Oliphant and Valerie Volcovici SOMERSET, N.J.,/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - NFL teams staged a show of solidarity with protesting players before Sunday's games by kneeling, linking arms or staying off the field during the U.S. national anthem, defying President Donald Trump's call for owners to fire those who refuse to stand. Along the sidelines of National Football League games across the country and in London, coaches, support staff and even some owners joined team members in a silent response to Trump's weekend denunciation of players who kneel during the anthem as unpatriotic. In a gesture initiated last season by then-San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, several NFL players have routinely "taken one knee" during the playing of the anthem.

Australia skipper Steve Smith’s luck on the ongoing tour of India went from bad to worse as spinner Ashton Agar has been ruled out of the remaining of the tour with a fractured finger.
